Extreme angst in the crypto market may signal a turning point for Bitcoin
Het sentiment op de cryptomarkt is gedaald tot uitzonderlijk lage niveaus. Volgens analisten van financiële dienstverlener Matrixport kan juist die extreme angst
Pointing to an impending turning point for Bitcoin. Historically, sustainable bottoms often occur when pessimism has broadly set in and selling pressure begins to wane.
Sentiment at lowest level in years
Matrixport stelt dat zijn eigen sentimentindicator momenteel een klassiek bodemsignaal laat zien. Wanneer het 21-daags gemiddelde onder nul zakt en vervolgens weer
omhoog draait, betekent dat doorgaans dat verkopers hun kracht verliezen en de markt stabiliseert. Die situatie doet zich nu voor, al sluiten analisten een verdere daling op korte termijn niet uit.

The current mood is one of the weakest in several years. Previous moments when the sentiment was this negative followed sharp corrections in 2024 and 2025.
Other indicators also confirm the grim picture: the well-known Fear & Greed Index is around extreme fear levels that have hardly been seen since 2022.
If Bitcoin closes in the red again in February, it will mean five consecutive months of losses, the longest negative streak since the bear market of 2018.
Such a persistent wave of sales underscores how tense market sentiment currently is.
Historically strong oversold signal
In addition to sentiment, statistical price measurements indicate extreme conditions. According to market experts, the price of Bitcoin is currently about two standard deviations.
Below his 20-day moving average. That level has only occurred a few times in the past five years.

In eerdere gevallen volgde na zulke situaties vaak een herstel op de korte termijn in de weken daarna. Dat betekent niet automatisch dat de bodem definitief is bereikt,
but indeed that the downward momentum is historically difficult to maintain.

Between panic and opportunity
De combinatie van extreme angst, uitputtende verkoopdruk en zeldzame oversold-metingen schetst een klassiek laat-cyclisch beeld. Op korte termijn kan volatiliteit
aanhouden en is verdere zwakte niet uitgesloten. Tegelijk ontstaan duurzame bodems in de regel juist wanneer het sentiment het donkerst is.
For Bitcoin, this means that the market may be nearing an important turning point, a phase in which panic gradually makes way for stabilization and eventually recovery.
